Chapter 177 Fines
"Promise Jiang, Jiang Jinxiu." Xu Fuhai smiled.Although he is only half a man, he still knows a lot about this man's secret thoughts.

Li Beichen leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep: "I told the chief bedroom to start making arrangements now."

"No." Xu Fuhai said with a smile.

This is to arrange for young master Jiang Jinxiu to clean up grandly, and it is obvious that he attaches great importance to it.

"Show me the directory of the dance group."

Li Beichen flipped through the list lazily, found Jiang Jinxiu's name, and looked at Xu Fuhai with a smile: "The sisters are divided into two groups. The elder sister is assigned to Concubine Jing, and the younger sister is assigned to Hailanzhu. Guess which group will win?"

"Forgive me for not being able to guess." Xu Fuhai replied with a smile, "Each has its strengths and each has its weaknesses."

Li Beichen nodded with a smile, "That's why you have to guess. If you see the outcome at a glance, you don't need to guess."

"The old slave has the guts to ask the emperor who he thinks will win?"

Li Beichen thought for a moment, "Jiang Jinxiu."

"Why? Please ask the emperor to give me some pointers." Xu Fuhai vaguely got the answer in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"You old bastard pretending to be confused!" Li Beichen laughed, "But she always surprises people with her eccentricity. Maybe this time."

"I'm confused, I really don't understand." Xu Fuhai said with a smile.

Li Beichen smiled, diluting the alienation on his face: "It's enough for them to be busy and ponder for a while. Let's just watch the show."

"Is there any news from other palaces?" Li Beichen asked casually.

There are Xu Fuhai's apprentices, godsons, and godsons in every palace. Naturally, there are eyes and ears everywhere. He has no secrets in the huge harem.

"After Concubine Jing went back, the Empress sent a group of servants from the House of Internal Affairs for her to choose, including the Empress's eyeliner. Concubine Jing lost her temper in anger and scolded the eighteenth generation of Empress's ancestors. New tribute Another set of cups and saucers was smashed."

Xu Fuhai recounted what Concubine Jing had said and done from the morning meeting to the meeting, the content was extremely detailed, and even described her tone and demeanor.

If Concubine Jing had this level of sobriety, she would not treat her palace as a place outside the law, and would not be entangled by the queen.

Li Beichen shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's normal for her to lose her temper. It's not her if she doesn't lose her temper. The Ministry of Internal Affairs drafted a rule in the name of reducing the expenses of the harem, and issued it together with the decision to cancel the chariot. Starting from April, Liugong will compensate the original price for any additional items that exceed the quota."

Li Beichen opened his eyes and looked at Xu Fuhai: "Where is the queen?"

"After the emperor left today, the empress stayed alone in the study for a long time. In addition, the maids in the empress's palace went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to inquire about Zhaocai's condition twice."

Li Beichen has been very sensitive to this since he knew about the Queen's murder of his heirs.

It turned out that it was the Queen's fault that he had nothing to do for so many years.

"Send people to keep a close eye on Zhaocai, and don't let people take advantage of the opportunity to make a fuss about drugs. The methods in the harem have always been vicious. In the past, there were drugs that could make people infertile for life in my father's palace."

"Old slave complies." Xu Fuhai quietly observed the emperor's expression.

At this time, they have not received the news that Mang Xia went to Tai Hospital to find Jiang Xian.

Li Beichen picked up the bowl, finished the remaining half cup of rock sugar Yuzhu and pear soup, and asked casually, "Where is Concubine Hui?"

Xu Fuhai hesitated to speak, Li Beichen urged impatiently.

Xu Fuhai carefully looked at the emperor's face: "I heard that after returning to the palace, I didn't think about eating and drinking, so I cried a lot. I knelt in the palace and begged God to bless your majesty with good health, and bless her to have a child and fulfill her long-cherished wish in her life."

"Is the queen still taking conditioning medicine?"

"Yes. I heard that seven days is a course of treatment."

Li Beichen's eyes turned cold, "The queen's body is damaged for the first time in bed, and she is not suitable for pregnancy. Imperial physician Xuan Jiang prescribed a decoction to save her from the pain of pregnancy and avoid damage to the phoenix body. You arrange it secretly."

"No." Xu Fuhai felt chills in his heart.

The queen's actions obviously really angered the emperor.The emperor wanted to give the empress the best soup to treat her body in her own way.

Li Beichen frowned slightly, feeling very painful in his heart.

If he hadn't found out about Concubine Hui's miscarriage today, he planned to ease the relationship with the queen and get along normally.If she gave birth to a son-in-law, it might not be a good way to stabilize Xie's family.

But now, he has made up his mind to only give favors, not heirs.It can also stabilize the Xie family.

Li Beihong's wedding was officially organized by the Ministry of Rites, and it was extremely grand.

At the morning meeting, it was announced the result of the house raid of the former Minister of the Ministry of Households and the distribution of relatives, the appointment of Murong Chi, Chen Ning, and Meng Qing, the son of Zuo Xiang, and the redesignation of the six princes as King Jin, from south to north. A total of [-] cities on the northern border were designated as fiefdoms, and the whole country celebrated together and amnesty the world.

The welcoming team started from the palace, and returned to Jinwang Mansion after receiving the bride, Mrs. Shen.

In accordance with Qin Tianjian's opinion, the Ministry of Rituals opened up a dedicated main road for the wedding procession. The red carpet was paved by special personnel, and auspicious objects were carefully arranged along the road. The imperial guards cleared the road in advance.

It can be described as ten miles of red makeup, emerald jewels and gilt gold, the festive red everywhere in Kyoto.

Outside the Prince Jin's Mansion, a red carpet measuring one foot and three feet wide stretched out, which was spectacular.Looking around, inside and outside the courtyard of the mansion, lanterns and festoons are hung everywhere, beaming with joy.

In the mansion, dignitaries of the imperial court, officials of the Ministry of Rites, and guests gathered in a lively and grand manner.

Everyone knows that this is the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty, so naturally they are rushing to give gifts.

King Li Beihong of Jin rode a white horse with big red flowers on his head to the palace to meet his bride.

He was dressed in a red brocade gown, with a big red flower tied on his body, which made Li Beihong's figure even more tall and straight, elegant and gentle, a gentleman like jade.

He really is the Prince Charming in the eyes of modern people.

However, he pursed his lips tightly, a little anxious and absent-minded.

Although it looks different from the beaming look of a normal groom, most people think it is easy to understand.After all, his status is so special, and the wedding was held in a hurry.

Anxiety is normal.

Li Beihong naturally wanted to see Jiang Yuebai.

Although he knew that Jiang's health was not good and he lived in the mother's harem, it might be impossible for him to show up at the wedding, but he felt lucky.

What if?What if?
He has accepted his fate, that is his elder brother's woman.And all he wanted was to let her witness the most important moment in his life and get her blessing.

The carriage of the bride and the carriage of the parents-in-law arrived first, and Shen's parents stood aside.A moment later, Li Beihong's heart sank when the queen mother, the emperor, and the empress arrived with the third prince.

Jiang Yuebai still didn't come after all.

Li Beihong's shoulders drooped weakly, and he put on the mask of King Jin who was polite, gentle, and cautious and courteous to his brother.

He bent his knees and was about to salute, but was stopped by the queen mother in time.

The queen mother said with a smile: "Lao Liu, you are the groom's official today. There is no need to salute."

The Empress Dowager gestured slightly to her Xiao Liu, and without any shyness, calmly handed him a note in her hand.
